Soul Staff

Pallando’s Soul Staff (Mythic Legendary Item, Major Artifact)

The soul staff is a powerful magic item with the ability to see deep into a person's soul, and affect it. The staff is crafted of mithral veins interwoven with Silverwood and topped with a large moon opal. The staff has 50 charges and has the following powers.

The following powers don’t use charges: 

• Detect magic
• Light
• Dream feast
• Haze of Dreams
• Shield of Faith (+4 deflection bonus to AC)
• Stabilize 

The following powers use 1 charges:

• Speak with Soul
• Hasten Judgement
• See Beyond
• Death Ward
• Undeath Ward
• Vision of Hell
• True Seeing

The following powers use 2 charges:

• Soul Seeker
• Vision of Doom

By expending 10 charges, Pallando may use True Resurrection (as the spell), but he may do so only once per month. This ability is reset by the appearance of a full moon. 

The wielder of the soul staff gains a +4 luck bonus to AC and on saving throws. The staff is also a +4 quarterstaff, and its wielder may use it to smite opponents. If 1 charge is expended (as a free action), the staff deals double damage (x3 on a critical hit) for 1 round.

The staff is fully recharged monthly under the light of the full moon.
 

Legendary Abilities (base abilities of Mythic Bond, Legendary Power, Legendary Surge)

Metamagician: This ability allows a spellcaster to apply a metamagic feat she knows to a spell as she casts it. She must expend a number of uses of legendary power equal to the increase of spell level the metamagic feat usually applies (minimum 1). This metamagic feat is applied spontaneously and without changing the casting time. This ability can be placed only on a head, headband, staff, ring, or rod legendary item.
 

Powerful: An item with this ability has two additional uses of legendary power per day. This ability can be taken up to three times. The item must be a minor or major artifact to take this a second time, and a major artifact to take this a third time. This is a persistent ability.

Rejuvenating: The bearer of this item can expend uses of legendary power to rejuvenate her body. As a standard action, she can expend one use of legendary power to heal herself of 10 points of damage per mythic tier she possesses. Alternatively, as a standard action she can expend two uses of legendary power to remove a single condition affecting her. A legendary item must be a minor or major artifact to have this ability.

Returning: The creature bonded to this item can expend one use of mythic power to teleport the item to her waiting hand, as if using teleport object. The item must be on the same plane as the bonded creature for this ability to function. This ability can be taken a second time, allowing the item to cross planes to return to the bonded creature. The item must be a major artifact to take this ability again.

Perfect Surge: This item's legendary surge can apply to any d20 roll. The surge adds a further +2 bonus when applied to one of the types of rolls initially chosen for it. A legendary item must be a major artifact to have this ability.
